 Objective
1. Illustrate and explain conceptual framework
THEORETICAL OR CONCEPTUAL?
• According to Patrick Regoniel (2010), “the
conceptual framework is almost always
confused with the theoretical framework of
the study.”
• A conceptual framework is the researcher’s
idea on how the research problem will have to
be explored. This is founded on the theoretical
framework, which lies on a much broader
scale of resolution. The theoretical framework
dwells on time tested theories that embody the
findings of numerous investigations on how
THEORETICAL OR CONCEPTUAL?
• The theoretical framework provides a general
representation of relationships between things
in a given phenomenon. The conceptual
framework, on the other hand, embodies the
specific direction by which the research will
have to be undertaken. Statistically speaking,
the conceptual framework describes the
relationship between specific variables
identified in the study. It also outlines the
input, process and output of the whole
investigation. The conceptual framework is
THEORETICAL OR CONCEPTUAL?
• The difference between theoretical framework
and conceptual framework can be further
clarified by the following examples on both
concepts:
• Theoretical Framework:
Stimulus elicits response.
• Conceptual Framework:
New teaching method improves students’
academic performance.
THEORETICAL OR CONCEPTUAL?
• Notice in the illustrative example that the
theoretical framework basically differs from
the conceptual framework in terms of scope.
The theoretical framework describes a broader
relationship between things. When stimulus is
applied, response is expected. The conceptual
framework is much more specific in defining
this relationship.
THEORETICAL OR CONCEPTUAL?
• The conceptual framework in this example,
the variable “teaching method” represents
stimulus while the “students’ academic
performance” represents the response. The
variables make clear the kind of statistical
treatment that will have to be used to analyze
the relationship.

HOW TO MAKE?
By Maria Magher
 The law of effect postulated by E.L.
Thorndike as cited by Aquino (2010) explains
the tendency of an organism to react to a
particular given situation. It indicates the
degree of probability that a certain response
will occur under a given stimulus
Theoretical Framework
“The effectiveness of an English proficiency
program depends upon the expertise of the
teachers, the effectiveness of their strategies,
the adequacy of the school facilities, and the
competence of the trainers providing the
assistance” (Fernando,et.al.)
Conceptual Framework
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
1. CONDUCT A LITERATURE REVIEW
• Before you can start your own research, you
need to understand what research has already
been conducted on your topic of interest. Your
thesis should always be new research that
helps to advance your field of study. You may
find that someone has already explored the
question you have in mind. Conducting the
literature review can help you to refine your
central argument or hypothesis.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
1. CONDUCT A LITERATURE REVIEW
• You must also conduct the literature review to
be able to place your work within the larger
field of study in your conceptual framework.
Your framework should introduce the relevant
research and show how your work will help to
advance the field.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
2. CREATE A FLOW CHART
• Conceptual frameworks are often visual in
nature and allow those reading the framework
to understand the flow of your research. You
can present this in whatever way makes the
most sense for your work, which can include a
flow chart, mind map or diagram. For each
component of your research, you should show
the variables that influence it.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
2. CREATE A FLOW CHART
• For example, if you are studying childhood
development outcomes, you might study home
life, school and community, which would each
be influenced by different variables. For
school, your variables might be peers, teachers
and learning disabilities. The more detailed
you are with your diagram, the more thorough
your conceptual framework will be.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
3. WRITE A NARRATIVE
• Not all conceptual frameworks have to include
a diagram or graphic. You can present the
same information by writing a narrative. Your
narrative should summarize the variables
influencing your research and explore how
they may change your hypothesis. The
narrative should also explain the basic
methodology for your research.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
3. WRITE A NARRATIVE
• Even if you include a diagram in your
conceptual framework, a narrative should also
be included explaining these details for those
who prefer more in-depth information. Use
bolded headers to separate the sections of your
narrative and to create a visual hierarchy of
information.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
4. RETURN & REVISE
• As you begin your research, you may find that
certain elements of your conceptual
framework no longer work. You may discover
new variables, or you may learn that your
hypothesis is incorrect. You may find
additional research that challenges your own
theory. You should return to your framework
and revise it as necessary.
MAKING A CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
4. RETURN & REVISE
• The document is not fixed in stone. It should
be considered an adaptable guide as you work
through your thesis. It should be seen as a
partner to your thesis and should be updated
as necessary.
